Glen Moray Scotch Whisky Review

Glen Moray Scotch whisky distillery is situated on the banks of the River Lossie on the East side of Elgin, close to a former place of execution for 17th century criminals "Gallow Crook Hill". In 1962 during the excavation for the footings of a new warehouse seven skulls were uncovered, one with a musket ball lodged in the jaw. The last hanging was in 1697.

Glen Moray originally started as a brewery, (Henry Arnott & Co) which was converted into a whisky distillery in 1897 by the Glen Moray Glenlivet Distillery Co.

The distillery closed in 1910 and after a brief one-season reopening in 1912, didn't go back into production until 1923, when Macdonald & Muir, the owners of Glenmorangie acquired the distillery.

Since then the only time the distillery has been closed was during World War II, due to the war restrictions.
